Oct 16, 2007 Cask at Barcade. The end of the cask with associated yeast. Muddy dark brown beer. Aroma of soft earthy chocolate, caramelly maltiness and a very yeasty flavour. The finish shows a lovely UK earthy/spicy hop flavour. Earthy and fairly persistent bitterness. Even in this condition, it’s not bad, and if I’d arrived a bit earlier it would have been even better. Some fairly assertive cherry/berry esters. Lingering cocoa.

Oct 12, 2007 Cask at Barcade. Dark orangy brown in color. Some fruit in the aroma. The taste was also very sweet and fruity, and the alcohol was slightly noticable. Good mouthfeel; enjoyable.

Mar 1, 2007 Sampled at the brewery. Dark brown and no head in the plastic cup. Not as strong as I would expect from an ESA. Pleasant though. Sharp, hoppy finish.
